We have an ERP software package with a number of database definiitons that we are hoping to correct. We're trying to use the Database Deployment Toolkit to deploy new definitions to our legacy databases used in the field by our customers.  Our first attempt at converting the database schema to an updated schema has not been very sucessful.  Primarily, one of the issues that is trying to be corrected is converting PK datatypes from Decimal(10,0) to Int.  It appears based on the log error messages that the PK constraints are not dropped prior to the type change being applied. 

Is this something that the tool is meant to support?

Thanks,

Aaron

heh, I cant count the number of times I forgot to check that since is usually happens months apart when designing new databases.
